Chapter 50: Ava City (5)

Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. At least, that's what those involved in this rebellion think. The vast majority of them were "veterans" of the Ming army who had "survived a hundred battles" and were the lucky ones in several battle royales. After surviving, they were given the high treatment of the organizers at all costs: a little meat to eat every day. Seeing the oil flowers floating in the vegetable soup and the girls from the nearby villages, many people thought that heaven was nothing more than that.

The casualties of a dozen people could not even make them have any mental fluctuations: watching the shells fly around them, some people even had the illusion that they were invulnerable and protected their bodies.

The gunfire at the head of the city became more and more chaotic, and not a single salvo was formed. The more they shot, the thicker the smoke became, and even though they kept changing their shooting positions, it was still difficult for the Ming army to hit anything, but instead "the whole strip and lead bullets flew together, and the smoke of gunpowder and the morning fog were the same color", and they completely fell into a state of blind shooting.

Sheltered by the smoke, the rebels rushed almost unscathed through the deadly distance where hundreds of corpses would have been dropped, and poured into the gaping gates.

Seeing that the house was progressing well, the hidden swarm of bees launched two more groups for support. The distance of this launch was much closer, and even a third of it flew into the city, and flammable liquids such as tung oil splashed everywhere, and large and small fires immediately erupted from the splashed places. However, the Ming army had already prepared, and immediately the Ming army went to fetch water or spray water with bamboo pipes to extinguish the fire. The flames could not be put together, and it was only a matter of time before they were extinguished.

As soon as they came out of the cave of the city gate, the rebels who were in a state of ecstasy heard the sound of horseshoes stepping on stone slabs, and thinking of the tragic situation of the battle royale, many people were so frightened that their palms were sweaty, and their weapons were unstable. Several of the small leaders who rushed in early were arguing about whether to continue rushing or quit first:

"Exit now, it'll be difficult for us to come in again."

"How many spears do we have, how did we do it over the Ming people's Pegasus?" Due to the huge height difference between the Burmese horses and the horses brought by the Ming army, the Burmese people, who were repeatedly crushed and ravaged by the Ming cavalry, even began to worship their enemies.

The cavalry of the Ming army clamped the horse's belly and pumped the horse's back, so that the speed of the war horse under the crotch was the highest.

The horses that charge can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour, and even if these cavalrymen and horses are covered in iron armor, they can reach a high speed of 40 kilometers per hour. Looking at the herd of Pegasi reflecting the sunlight in the distance, the two sides closed their mouths and turned their heads to run.

Between a few breaths, the person who reacted the slowest was directly knocked away by the 500-kilogram body and steel. In the face of the huge impact and high speed of the heavy cavalry, one enemy after another either fell under the flying saber or was directly knocked into the flight by the war horse.

And these two methods will hardly slow down a little bit, that is, even if you run to the front, you will be quickly caught up by the Ming army and killed or stabbed in half. In the unlikely event of an escape, some chose to kneel on the ground and raise their hands alof.

The Ming army on the horse didn't bother to look at it, and was not even willing to turn the horse's head slightly, and the infantry immediately followed to clean up the prisoners.

Behind the cavalry was an infantry with a super-long spear of about five meters.

Until the invention of the bayonet in the early eighteenth century, spearmen were the main dealers of damage in ancient warfare. The infantry during Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition even did the thing of the infantry counterattacking and encircling the cavalry. There were only 600 spearmen behind the cavalry, but the least experienced of them was also enlisted in Guizhou, and after several years of Ming and Qing wars, their quality was slightly inferior to that of the Zhejiang army that was destroyed in the Hunhe River.

Good steel, to be used on the blade. However, the Ming army in the city is all good steel.

The reason why Li Dingguo did not close the south gate was that he planned to use this cavalry as a backhand. From a traditional point of view, street infantry was more suitable than cavalry because the streets were narrow. However, Li Dingguo did the opposite, not only taking advantage of the rebels' psychological blind spots, but also using this straight avenue to sweep the road in advance, so that the cavalry played a far more than expected effect.

More and more thieves are becoming puddles of flesh or captives under the spears of the infantry, and the enemy under the city is dwindling dramatically.

Sun Chongya's face was overjoyed when he saw the thief retreating, and he set up a flintlock pistol and hooked his small hand, and a fleeing Burmese fell in response.

The exclamation of his subordinates immediately sounded in his ears, but as soon as he showed joy, there was a loud noise behind him.

Looking back, I saw that the intersection in the distance, where the barricade had been located, had become a large pit. The three-pound cannon rolled a few to the side, and the birds, spears and other things went up to the sky with the Ming army stationed there.

As soon as Sun Chongya thought that there must be hidden thieves here, he saw dozens of samurai carrying various weapons rushing out of the house next to him, and mending their swords towards the Ming army in the big pit. Then, they rushed together in the direction of the palace.

A second explosion sounded farther away, and a crowd of people rushed out as well. The sound of a huge explosion even reached the outside of the city, and there were even houses that were shaken and collapsed in the vicinity. Taking advantage of the fact that the Ming army was dizzy, the rebels who had been prepared for a long time slashed and killed the Ming army. Sun Chongya couldn't see so far away, so she simply turned her head to face the city.

The two rebels soon converged into a team of several hundred men, who kicked their useless firearms far away, clutching the spears and swords they had taken from the corpses. Some people also tried it, and they praised in their hearts that Akito's weapon was so easy to use.

……

In the courtyard where the big guys gathered, the slow people who had been arguing all night finally closed their mouths. Except for a few Han officials, they all copied the guy in person, lit gunpowder and rushed out of the yard.

There was a loud bang, and the slowmen, who had already covered their ears and closed their mouths tightly, sped over the steps.

But facing them was not the Ming army that had been stunned, but a row of Ming troops with bird guns.

"Put!" Within ten steps, even an old-fashioned arquebus is a must-hit.

The slow rule's eyes widened with expressions of disbelief, and some subconsciously wanted to dodge. But people can't move faster than buckshot. Nearly 1,000 joules of lead bullets hit on the limbs or torso pushed them against the wall.

"Don't let the life run out again this time!"

The officer who shouted was the general flag of the escort prisoner yesterday, and he was called to a scolding yesterday and he was 120,000 points careful. Watching the soldiers mend the knives that could not survive, and staring at them bandaging the ones that could still live for a while and sending them into the palace, the stone in my heart fell to the ground.

Subsequently, the civil officials who planned to "wait for good news" were also dragged out and loaded into sacks.

And the team that had just joined thought that their foreign aid had entered the city, and they all ran towards the palace of the king of Burma that could be seen at a glance with happy faces. I heard the sound of a swarm of bees in the distance, and I was even more determined, thinking that I was about to win, and some of them even turned their heads to look back.

"Why don't you swarm into the sky?"

The leader just wanted to reprimand the little miscellaneous fish from the gangster behind him, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly reacted that something was not good: how could a swarm of bees outside the city shoot flat?

Could it be that the chain has fallen outside the city?

"Phew! It's really hairless, and it's not good to do things! ”

The leader who thought he had hair on his mouth wiped his beard, and shouted loudly to order everyone to turn around and go out of the city: Just kidding, thousands of people outside can't get in, and you can get into the palace with a hundred people? Or "leave it for the useful, so as to serve the country"!

Some people turned around in a daze, while others were still immersed in the joy of "victory", and they didn't care about their beards, and they led people to smear oil on the soles of their feet first.
